Encouraging teachers and parents to be open to modernized approaches to raising children. Inspiring them to NOT give up in spite of what everyone else seems to be using for discipline.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Parents and teachers who believe in taking the necessary time to build balanced relationships with the children in their care become frustrated when they don’t see the behavioral results they were hoping to achieve. They may be missing a few important tools as a caregiver and once they realize what additional steps are needed and learn how to apply them, everything changes. Cooperation begins to flow more freely in their home or classroom.

Sometimes it’s easier just to take the path of least resistance when time and patience are low, because that’s the way everyone else is doing it. Adults today are feeling an increase in personal pressures so it becomes automatic to pass that pressure down to the children in our care through our discipline. But with a little bit of inspiration to stay the course with best practices on raising capable and cooperative children, caregivers can be re-energized to keep going.

“We hosted Bill Corbett to come speak to 150 parents and professionals. The response to Bill’s presentation was phenomenal. The audience was fully engaged for two hours, made notes, and stayed after for questions. He gives parents simple tools to deal with tricky issues of discipline (and parental sanity). In all my years of teaching and counseling, I’ve never heard anyone do it better. We don’t normally promote a vendor, but believe Bill is an exceptional conveyor of skills and understanding that so many parents crave.”Richard J. Knoll, President & CEO

“I had the pleasure of inviting Bill Corbett to be the keynote address for the Preschool Enrichment Team 32nd Annual Early Childhood Conference. I take great pride in selecting top notch speakers that can captivate an audience or our size. Bill was very successful in grabbing the attention of the participants and was able to deliver a message of hope for the educators themselves and the children and families they work with. His keynote address, “Don’t Give Up! You May Be the Only Hope a Child Has to Grow!” was very well received. We heard feedback such as he built motivation and confidence among the teachers, and his message is excellent for both teachers and parents. He received excellent evaluations of this keynote and breakout sessions.

I hope to bring Bill back to our conference in the future.”Carol Venancio, Training/Conference Director, Preschool Enrichment Team, Inc.
